Centralina Area Agency on Aging

The demographics of our region’s older adult population are changing in terms of size, diversity and needs. There are now more North Carolinians over the age of 60 than under the age of 18, with over two million older adults over the age of 65 residing in our state. Many of these older adults want to stay in their communities and in their own home for as long as possible.

Centralina Area Agency on Aging (AAA) strives to support and improve the quality of life for older and disabled adults, their families and caregivers throughout our nine-county region. By offering direct services, programming, planning and technical assistance, Centralina AAA helps residents age with choice, dignity and independence.

Committees & Advisory Councils

State and federal legislation requires Area Agencies on Aging to convene volunteers for specific purposes. Residents who volunteer to serve in an advisory capacity are a critical leadership resource, providing feedback and perspective regarding the aging network.

Community Advisory Committee for the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program

The Community Advisory Committee helps the Ombudsman Program promote and protect the rights of residents in adult care and nursing facilities. Volunteers are appointed by the county to spend time visiting facilities, engaging with residents and advocating for quality care.
